The head of the UOC-KP Filaret “plays” on the side of the ROC, said the head of the OCU Epiphany Dumenko, quoted by Gordon.
“When I saw the screenshots [of the TV program], he speaks against the background of the footage of the events that took place in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, when they gathered those who allegedly suffered from the “seizures” of churches. What do we see? We see that the former Patriarch Filaret has already openly plays on the side of the ROC, “said the head of the OCU.
According to Epiphanius, at first there was a thought that Filaret “was doing this unconsciously, perhaps he was incited by those who are behind him.”
“Now we see that he does it openly. He replicates Russian fakes about the Tomos, about the independence of the OCU. But this is all untrue. In the future, we will receive the status of patriarchy and will brew peace. It does not matter. It is important that we are independent,” he said.
